Re: [Evolution] How to setup esd to have sound ?

[Nicolas ROBAUX <n robaux bpf vnu com>]

I just found the solution...

You need to have the esd daemon running in the background. So I just
typed "esd &" and "esdmon &" in a terminal, and then it worked !
Then, if you type "ps -aux" in the terminal, you will see esd in the
list of the running programs.
I have now to find wich command is the right one to launch the esd
daemon (esd or esdmon ?), and I'll put it in my rc.local file, or in a
startup script...
Good to hear the sound ! :-)

Let us know if it works for you !
